Lightroom Slowing
Posted: Wed May 22, 2019 10:26 pm
I'm perplexed as to why my CC Lightroom has become extremely slow functioning. I download my D500 files to an external hard drive, G-Drive 4 TB (presently has 1.2/4 TB) and then use Lightroom on my late 2016 iMac, 3.3 GHz, Core i5, with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I'm using the usb3 connection between external and the iMac. I have not been using ANY keywording or organization within Lightroom, just download and edit select raw images as required. I just have one large catalogue with a few subfiles (I like to photograph, not so much organize my ever growing mass of images).
So the problem is that importing the images from their original location takes a long time. Opening individual files is glacial as well. Forget about any multitasking, can barely open Safari, while importing. At this point I can barely use Lightroom and I'm exasperated with the software. Looking for advice as where to begin unravelling my mess.
Thanks!
